      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      Ah I suspect then it is getting a bit bogged down with things. The database will do various things at certain times and as there are around 40,000 programs on each EPG update and these constantly change a slow PC could have periods of struggling when the database undergoes various indexing etc...

      I have tested this now on Windows 11 and made some changes. Could you download again the installation zip file as I've updated the installer in that one and added a new version. It is successfully installing and working on Windows 11 here when I've tested it. Remove the existing version, if...

      Are you running Regedit with Admin permissions? Right click it and Run as administrator to launch it if not, that should allow you to then remove the folder. Just make sure you are deleting the folder the setting is in, so it is showing DvrOnTime on the right and you remove the folder it found...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      I've had a look at the log file, I've never seen that database connection error before in DvrOnTime or any other system I've worked on (relating to the pre-login handshake), I've Googled it and not really come up with anything conclusive. In addition something seems to be stalling on the PC for...

      Okay, here is something to try. 1) Make sure the service is stopped, click Start, type Services, find DvrOnTime in the list, if it is there double click and stop the service, may already be stopped. 2) Open Regedit - click Start - type Regedit - Navigate to...

      Are you not able to see the actual timestamp of the file in the list or change a setting to see it along with the time on that right hand column that has just the date? I went with the scheduled time just so it was easier to read and compare against the schedule and because in Windows at least...

      On version 1.0.3 your database will be lost on uninstalling the old version and putting on the new version, this means you would need to retune and re-add scheduled recordings. You can however manually take a back up of the database then restore it afterwards to avoid that inconvenience, and...

      Glad you got it working, although its odd it was falling over with no channels as I've tested installing a clean database with no channels many times, although that's computers and software for you!

      I've no idea what the problem might be, I simply can't rectify it. If you look in the Old versions folder on the drive link I've added a zip file called debug. If you can download that, unblock it in file properties, then extract the DvrOnTime.Exe file. Make sure the DvrOnTime service is...

      I've just uploaded version 1.0.6, this contains the following changes: Database will be optimised after the update, then once every 7 days to keep indexes optimised, this is hopefully to resolve an issue seen by MymsMan Added the option under settings to have the program scheduled time added...

      Is there anything in the Windows event log for DvrOnTime, may be something under application logs that gives an indication.

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      Okay I think I know the issue you are having. It is because no channels are tuned and this had caused the code to fall over when run in a Command box. If you start the service normally and tune the channels it should be fine, and once some channels are tuned it will work from a command prompt...

      Not sure what is going on there, is the service running under services? If you downloaded the Zip file again I would suggest right clicking on the Zip file and making sure it is set as trusted as by default Zip files get flagged as being from untrusted sources, this can mean it can install...

      The same issue as before with the database not responding. It might be a pain but uninstalling, then deleting all the files in Program Files\DvrOnTime, then reinstalling will give you a clean copy of the database, of course you will need to set up all your recordings again. I'm already testing...

      Thanks for the log. This showed errors where the database stopped responding to requests for data in a timely manner. I'm going to have look at the code and see where some improvements can be made to handle this and recover from it.

      Odd, I'm trying to replicate that by adding the same events but can't seem to and some have gone past now. I think it might have just been cosmetic in that the UI was showing the incorrect icons, perhaps a script error on the page. If you can attach the event log for the 3 Feb I can take a...

      Indeed. Also the Freeview packet structure and specification is freely available online, it's heavy going and can be challenging but is complete and doable. I knew nothing about how digital TV worked or how it was transmitted and organised until I started this project and learnt as I went, so...

      It was written for Windows and unfortunately I don't have the time or experience to rewrite it for other operating systems. I'm not sure if it would work using Docker, and its not something I have any experience in. I will say making something cross-platform is making something a jack of all...

      To run on a Pi it would need to be written again using C++ I should think in order to get the performance, possibly implementing APIs special to Broadcom in order to accelerate some packet handling of the transport stream packets, although it might have enough grunt not to need those...

      Series linked entries are kept and automatically updated once the guide has been reloaded after retuning. If you don't retune in time they should all still continue to record even though some channel numbers might have shifted around to allow BBC3 to go back in the list (behind the scenes the...
